It’s a absolute joke mate. Vauxhall have lost the plot with them terribly engineered engines.

Why??? The chain is rated for life! 😮

@@AndreiTacu yes but it turned out that my tensioner was faulty causing my chain to rattle,so better be safe that sorry I had it all changed

I’m sure it will work fine for you. Good luck 👍

How many km?

Only about 60k. Recently sold it and bought a new Astra L model@@z.a.2177

In my case sprockets were fine, however, customer dictated to replace everything. All the pieces used for this job came from opel dealer as a individual parts.

Hello, By your description it look like timing might be slightly out. I suggest remove the rocker cover and put your timing locking tools to double check just to be on the safe side.

Wydaje mi się , że to się nie uda. Demontaż : wtryski i pokrywa zaworów niestety raczej będą koniecznością , dodatkowo egr i górna , zazwyczaj mocno przyklejona pokrywa rozrządu .No i raczej przy tej samej okazji zmodyfikowany napinacz łańcucha rozrządu był by dobrą opcją. Jeśli autko ma większy przebieg to warto sprawdzić również klapę kierunkową spalin w chłodnicy egr. Niestety mają tendencje do urywania się. Pozdrawiam

thanks a lot.

Mogłem po Polsku zapytać :D

Where did you get the parts from do you have a phone number ?

@@sergiomonteiro218 Got my parts from local opel dealership

Hello. I believe this is price from opel main dealer and includes all chains, guides, tensioners, upgraded gaskets and labor.

It'll be real low, like 8-10Nm max

Hello, I believe this gasket supposed to keep the oil in tensioner chamber. I also believe that little cut on the top of the gasket it is air release when oil pressure is filing oil channel .

@@kackac8277 Thanks a lot for the reply. I read that the small cut was to lubricate the chain. but I didn't understand how he lubricated the chain from there. if oil comes out of there at high pressure, will it reach the chain?

@@TheBluessoul I don’t think this is made to lubricates timing chain. That cut isn’t going in one line with timing chain so I can see how oil could reach timing chain coming out from there

@@kackac8277 if there's oil coming out of here, it's not just the timing chain, I understand that other parts of it are getting oil. Do you think if there is oil coming out of here, will it reach the chain? (my English is a little weak, sorry)

@@TheBluessoul I believe some part of oil coming out from there it will reach the chain but not directly. Upgrade on tensioner and also extra gasket it’s clearing the problem with chain rates .( of course if chain isn’t worn)

Hello, How far as I remember yes, 5th and 6th gear

@@kackac8277 thank you very much!

Yes, before was changed, not after. 5th and 6th gear

Hello. When you start your engine you will hear rattle noise for first few seconds and then disappears. You can add the gasket and modified tensioner and see will that help.

Hello, More likely this is the same set up.

Bottom Chain is a oil pump drive .

@@kackac8277 is that as likely to fail due to the tensioner like the to chain

Hello, Mokka was only 65k. Since new only short drives, and start/stop always on. This more likely cause chain to stretch quicker. you can put the gasket on the tensioner without removing the engine.

@@kackac8277 Thanks for the reply. I was told by Opel that the noise when starting was normal for this engine and not to worry. I was also told that there is no timing chain change interval (it changes when it rattles when the engine is warm). They also said that the tensioner gasket was recommended for the 110 horsepower engine and had no recommendation for my 136 engine

If you ad this gasket noise should disappear

Hello, Gasket behind timing chain tensioner it is upgrade.

Hello, Sorry, it was over a year ago and I didn’t save part numbers. I know for sure tensioner I’ve used it was 3rd upgraded version.

@@kackac8277 no problem I understand. Does this also helps if chain rattles during driving. But not actually on start-up? Our car does it most of the time during driving when heating up. Stone cold nothing. En on temperature much less. But During warming up al The time. Its also rpm related approx around 2000rpm. Thanks

@@leminako I couldn’t hear any excessive noise from the timing chain while driving or even revving up no matter cold or warm engine. Only first start rattle it was my issue.

@@kackac8277 ok. Thank you for your reply's

No , it isn’t

To zależy jak kompleksowa będzie ta wymiana. Niestety jest to dość kosztowna operacja . Jeśli doliczymy do tego sprzęgło i koło zamachowe to wyjdzie pokaźna kwota .

Way we’ve done it last time using OEM parts (3 years ago) total around €1800. I suggest replace tensioner and add the gasket before you decide to go to spend crazy money as my customer decided at the time.

Do you have a video on disassembly? Detailed? I’ve seen some. But I like your style and how you do it. Seems very clean and a pro!

@@Paulie3051 Unfortunately I don’t have full video,some shots only.

I’m pretty handy on these things. I’ll buy the tensioner and gasket. I’m sure with a knowledgeable friend we can figure it out. My other question to you is, when I disconnect the injectors and connectors, will I have to clear the codes again and set up I hectors with AUTEL OBD II reader?

Przy rozrządzie na łańcuchu , jeśli już coś słychać to raczej bym nie czekał . Lepiej zapobiegać ewentualnym usterką . Pozdrawiam

@@kackac8277 dzięki za odpowiedz , czy przy wymianie rozrządu opłaca sie od razu wymienić sprzęgło + dwumase i zajrzeć do skrzyni biegów czy nic się tam nie dzieje?

@@yamillo7150 koło dwumasowe i sprzęgło zwykle wytrzymuje około 200k km. Wiadomo że jak wszystko jest rozebrane to można by to było zrobić przy okazji. Niestety , to jest spory dodatkowy koszt.

Just put GM - 555 15 025 And you'll never have a problem again, the engine doesn't have to be taken out to get to the chain tensioner.

Why 0w20 when the 5w30 is recommended for this engine? Is it thinner?

@@FlyingNitro1990 ask your local dealer, for months Opel has changed the recommended oil to 0w20. And yes, its thinner, oil moves faster and the pressure builds up faster. And since you have an oil-cooler the hot summers are no problem with this oil, and in winter it performs much better than 5w30

Сама цепь была не очень растянута, но я был обеспокоен тем, что направляющие цепи могут быть повреждены. Самой важной деталью была эта дополнительная прокладка для натяжителя ГРМ.

@@kackac8277 Натяжитель цепи можно поменять без демонтажа мотора, коробки и форсунок. Для этого снимаем охладитель EGR и отдавливаем боковую крышку. Если натяжитель вышел не сильно, то очевидно, что успокоители не посрывало. Цепь там крепкая, рвёт успокоители из-за конструктивного просчета с натяжителем.

Not sure. Something I got from iMovie app on my iPhone

Unfortunately I don’t think flushing will help it. It looks like this is down to the design of the oil chamber behind the tensioner. It takes a good bit of time to fill up with oil after engine starting.

@@kackac8277 Do you agree with all the problem starts from tensioner’s malfuction?(I think so). Then what do you think that break the tensioner? If this happen by the ash or carbon then I will try to eliminate that.

@@fiberkim4443 Opel already upgrade this tensioner design and how far as I know they did it more than once. This will suggest they knew about the problem. I have to say, the engine I’ve been working on, there was no sign of any carbon building up. At the same time I have to highlight this particular vehicle was only 60k km and one owner from new + always service in time. Behind timing chain tensioner there is a big chamber. I believe after switching engine off , oil is running back to oil channel. During next engine start , all air need to be pushed out from the chamber before tensioner get some oil feed. Gasket I use it’s really helping with that. First of all is not letting all oil to return back to the oil channel and second thing is ,small cut in upper part of the gasket helps removing air from the oil chamber.

@@kackac8277 thank you for the detailed explain. But I still want to find out why it break at some point. Specific reason. Whether it’s spring or the ash on the check valve’s move. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jd-JpsqLmq2wiGw.html

@@kackac8277 Thank you now I got understand what you are saying
